"Lord Governor, report... urgent report from Bashan!!"
Outside the vermilion door of the back hall, a spy hurried in.
The spy was covered in blood and had an arrow stuck in his shoulder. His condition was miserable.
"What the hell is going on?"
All the civil and military personnel under Liu Yao were stunned.
"If you have any urgent report, please tell me immediately!?"
Liu Yao had sweat on his forehead, and his heart thumped as he suddenly had an ominous premonition!
"My lord, General Chen Heng marched in a hurry and raided Xuancheng. He originally wanted to capture the general and the Zhou family and his son in one fell swoop..."
The spy prostrated himself, took a breath, and continued: "Unfortunately... I encountered an ambush by the general and Zhou Yu in Bashan!"
"ambush!?"
"Fuck!? Liu Hao's troops and horses are all in Jinling City. How can there be so many people? Dare to ambush my 40,000-strong army!?"
Liu Yao sat up suddenly, his face dark and smelly...
"Yes! Our army scouts are very attentive. The situation in Jinling City will never escape the observation of our army's spies!"
"Is this guy a spy? He came here to spoil the governor's mood!"
"Beat this guy! He dared to lie about military information!"
....
All the generals under Liu Yao, except Tai Shi Ci, were all shouting and expressing disbelief.
When marching and fighting, it is common sense to put the number of troops first.
An army with a large number of people and strong morale can overwhelm the opponent.
However, when Liu Hao went to Xuancheng to have a secret meeting with the Zhou family and his son, he didn’t even lead any troops, so how could he attack the mountain in an ambush!?
If you tell me this, who will believe it!?
"Lord...if I were a spy and came to lie about this military situation, I would not be able to escape death!"
The spy was also drunk and said aggrievedly: "The main force of the ambush is Danyang's elite soldiers under Zhou Yi, the prefect of Danyang County, and they are also Zhou Yu's Five Thousand Parts!"
After listening to the spies' words, everyone suddenly realized...
"Damn it, damn it!"
Liu Yao was so angry that he was trembling all over, and his heart was even colder!
"What the hell, they asked Zhou Yi and his son to train troops in Xuancheng, and they ended up training five thousand elite Danyang soldiers who could be used in a big way. In the end, they took advantage of Liu Hao and helped him deal with him!?"
"Wow! If I don't kill Zhou Yu, it won't be enough to vent my anger!"
Liu Yao punched the table in front of him hard!
boom!
The wine glasses and fresh fruits placed on the table fell to the floor!
Liu Yao was so angry that his six orifices were filled with smoke and his whole body was trembling!
The total military strength in Yangzhou under his control is only about 80,000!
Now, Chen Hengbashan has sent away like this, and at least half of the combatable soldiers in his hands have been killed!
Liu Hao conquered Zhou Yu and was able to defeat an army of 40,000 with only 5,000 men!
With such great strength, how could Liu Yao not feel desperate?!
Suffocating, heavy despair!
The civil and military people in Yangzhou even held their breath, and no one made a sound!
In the hall, it was deathly silent!
"Master Governor, I estimate that now, Yuan Shu and Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai are already well prepared... We can only risk our troops and fight to the death with Liu Hao!"
Yangzhou General Zhang Ying showed a trace of madness on his face and shouted in a lowered voice: "The general has received news and heard that the emperor's holy cavalry is about to arrive at Jinling!
Why don't we just lead the army directly out of the Niuzhu camp, march directly towards Jinling, ambush halfway, kidnap the emperor's chariot, and let the emperor issue an imperial edict to summon the princes of the world to attack the general Liu Hao?"
"Eh!? General Zhang...that's not a bad idea!"
Liu Yao also didn't expect that Zhang Ying could put forward such constructive opinions.
"You can't... this... you absolutely can't do it!"
Taishi Ci stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Governor, is the emperor's most important person. If you really lead the troops to rob the emperor, wouldn't we be the treacherous ministers and traitors? We will commit rebellion and trap the Governor into injustice?"
"Lord Governor, the strength of our army is not as strong as that of the general. It is better to fortify the walls and clear the country, and defend the Niuzhu camp!
At the same time, we summoned Yan Baihu from Wu County, the prefect Wang Lang from Kuaiji County, Hua Xin from Yuzhang and Luling counties, and Lord Yu Fan to send troops together to contain the general's forces..."
Taishi Ci put forward his own opinion.
However, the advice is hard to hear!
When it came to the sensitive topic of Liu Yao's rebellion, the civil and military officials in Yangzhou lowered their heads one after another, looked at their noses and hearts, and said nothing...
"Fuck! Is that you again?"
Zhang Ying broke out, pointed at Tai Shici and cursed: "Lord! I suspect that this guy has colluded with Liu Hao for a long time! Every time I offer a strategy that is beneficial to the lord, he comes out to oppose...
Take him down as soon as possible before he gets hurt!"
"Taishi Ziyi, you are speaking freely, why don't you retreat quickly!?"
Liu Yao glanced at Tai Shici dissatisfied and said calmly: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done! The general controls the government and has no regard for the emperor. I am also a member of the Han Dynasty, how can I not work hard to serve the king?"
"Yes! Lord Governor, you understand justice well!"
"We must mobilize King Qin's army to protect the Emperor's Holy Emperor!"
........
Listening to the roaring echoes of the civil and military people in Yangzhou.
General Zhang Ying glanced at Tai Shici triumphantly.
"Fight me?"
Taishi Ci was heartbroken...
He opened his mouth, but was unable to refute and couldn't say a word.
At this time, he felt like a lonely hero.
In the Yangzhou Group headed by Liu Yao, people such as Zhang Ying, Fan Neng, Yu Mi and others followed Liu Yao from the beginning. They had close relationships with each other and formed a small group with related interests.
Taishi Ci, who joined Liu Yao halfway, was naturally excluded from this small group.
"Haha, Chen Heng led the army in a bad way, greedy for power and advanced rashly, so he died deservedly!"
Liu Yao suppressed his fear of Liu Hao and forced a smile.
At this point, the matter is like an arrow on the string and must be fired!
After thinking about it, Liu Yao cheered up and arranged things...
"Where is Zhang Ying!?"
"The end is here!"
Zhang Ying came out brazenly.
"I order you to lead an army of 30,000 people and leave the Niuzhu camp. You must capture the Emperor's Holy Chariot halfway!"
Zhang Ying patted his chest and shouted: "I will definitely not disappoint my lord!"
"Where is Tai Shici?"
"The end is here!"
Taishi Ci had no choice but to go out.
"Order to lead five thousand soldiers and horses and defend the Niuzhu camp. No mistakes will be made, otherwise military law will serve you!"
"As you command!"
Taishi Ci replied dully and retreated.
Liu Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of madness, and he said: "This is the order of the governor! Call Wu Commandery Yan Baihu, Commander Wang Lang of Kuaiji Commandery, Commander Hua Xin and Commander Yu Fan of Yuzhang and Luling Commanderies to lead troops respectively to attack Liu Yao.
Hao!"
Each of his men took the order and left. Liu Yao's back was soaked with cold sweat!
The feeling of despair is so uncomfortable!
The strength shown by Liu Hao made Liu Yao restless!
However, no one can know the lingering shadow and fear in the heart of this dignified Yangzhou governor! ..
